Chapter 53 Mr. Yang

The surviving Daman did not seek death after he died. It was probably because people who had died once had difficulty having the courage to do it for the second time, but she scared the girls in the yard miserably.

Because she would take turns changing the black and white short skirt every day, and she would say that she was Xiaoman on the day she wore the white skirt...

The girl who was responsible for looking at her thought she was a ghost.

They reported the matter to Sun, and Sun had no choice but to invite a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts and soothe people's hearts, but Daman was still the same.

……

The Annan Protectorate is located in Jiaozhou, and the straight distance from Nanzhao is not far, but it is difficult to attack with high mountains, high forests and dense roads in the southern country.

After receiving the order to resolve the war within two months, the gubernator Yang Sixu felt that time was urgent and did not dare to neglect it and immediately reorganized his troops.

The Tang soldiers mainly gathered in Jiaozhou Military Town in Annan, and they had to mobilize and assemble and mobilize them quickly, but the Wuzhao reinforcements gathered slowly.

Yang Sixu asked the Young Democratic Allied Forces to join the Myanmar village on the Nanzhao border and led two thousand infantry and cavalry to the west first.

While he ordered various tribes to reinforce, he wrote to Nanzhao Dazhai to give Piluoge an ultimatum.

The letter asked Piluoge to two things: immediately stop the illegal attack on the Heman tribe, put down his weapons and surrender to the officials of the Tang Dynasty; tie Piluoge to the Tang army camp and send him to Chang'an for crimes.Otherwise, the war will begin.

Of course, this kind of condition is impossible to accept. Isn’t it a problem to take the initiative to become a prisoner? Now he still holds the military and political power of Nanzhao. He disagrees with the conditions and seems that war cannot be avoided.

In fact, Yang Sixu led his army to the Nanzhao territory and continued to face small harassment. The enemy soldiers suffered slight losses to the Tang army soldiers with their familiarity with the jungle.

The reinforcements of Wuzhao were not yet arrived, and the Tang army had no advantage in the field. Fortunately, they brought many local pro-Tang guides, otherwise the number of troops would be reduced.

The main opponent of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry was relatively strong, but under the terrain of the south, it was difficult to find even a flat ground as big as a polo field. The cavalry could not play a role at all. Instead, those elusive natives were more adaptable to the environment.

Therefore, the army led by Yang Sixu was mainly composed of heavy infantry in the war vanguard, and brought some mules and horses only for camel food, grass and supplies, which were difficult to carry.

The march was still divided into three armies. The vanguards were mostly barbarians who were familiar with the local conditions. The rear army escorted the baggage and the rear hall, and the central army was the main force of the Tang army, led by Yang Sixu himself.

He was a eunuch, but he was different from most eunuchs in the province of the Daming Palace, and did not look malice at all; he was not similar to the eunuch heroes like Gao Lishi.

Yang Sixu is dark and thin. After being sung in the south for a few years, he became even darker. He has a small pair of eyes, and his eyes are bright but it makes people feel chills.

This guy is famous for his ruthlessness in the South. When he suppressed the rebellion, he often killed prisoners and killed innocent people. He only won the battle and did not make any sense to him.

At this time, he was riding on a horse holding a kettle and raising his head and pouring it hard, covered in sweat on his face, and frowned and asked: How far is Burmese Village?

It's only ten miles away.

Yang Sixu nodded and looked up at the shade on his head. The leaves blocked most of the poisonous sunlight. The colorful sunlight and tree shadows were printed on the road, but it was still very hot.

The road surface and the shade of trees seem to form a large steamer, which is as uncomfortable as it is.

What's even more uncomfortable is that in order to prevent harassment and sneak attacks along the road, the soldiers had to marches in armor.

There were some barbarians on both sides of the road, paying attention to the abnormal movements in the forest while walking; there were a large number of infantry ranks in the center, and although the team still maintained its shape, everyone was listless and even spoke in slightest voice...

One word: hot.

People in armor felt that the iron sheets on their bodies were roasted red, and the lining of no one was dry, and they were all soaked in sweat.

Yang Sixu shouted loudly: Send the order and put some salt in the kettle, otherwise people will not be able to stand it.

A general behind asked in confusion: Mr. Yang, aren’t you more thirsty when putting salt?

Yang Sixu only relied on his experience in fighting in the south for a few years and couldn't tell the reason for this. He finally said: Sweat is salty, and if you sweat too much, you have to put salt in the water.

At this moment, a horse ran over in the opposite direction of the road, ran to Yang Sixu's horse and stopped, jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee and said: Report to Mr. Yang, the vanguard was ambushed!There was a pit on the road, and the enemy soldiers rushed out of the woods, with a large number of people.

Stop moving forward!Yang Sixu shouted.

A general rushed forward and said: Finally, he is willing to lead his troops to provide reinforcements.

Yang Sixu pondered for a moment and said: Maybe it was just a feint attack. Wait and see that Li Dayou couldn't stand it and would send someone again.

As soon as he finished speaking, another rider rushed over from behind and said anxiously: Repay!The enemy soldiers suddenly attacked the rear army!

Food, supplies and supplies are their real plans, so go for reinforcements!Yang Sixu ordered, "The command Yang Meng will come to see you after losing food and supplies!"

yes.

Yang Meng is Yang Sixu's godson, not a eunuch. He happened to be surnamed Yang and came from a humble family. He simply recognized Yang Sixu as his godfather. He always regarded Yang Sixu's respect as his right and left arm.

When the reinforcements of the Central Army rushed over, they heard people shouting that the horses were neighing and the generals were already killed. A few horses were ignited on their backs and were running around in horror.

The road was narrow and it was not conducive to gathering people to fight. Except for a few soldiers and horses in the middle, Yang Meng's army was scattered among the mules and horses carrying supplies to fight against the rushing enemies.

The barbarians were smaller than the armored Tang soldiers, and they did not have decent equipment or even looked like military troops, but they were flexible in their movements and jumped up and down like monkeys.

At this time, someone in the team shouted: Reinforcements are coming, kill!

The Tang army was greatly motivated and roared together during the fight, and suddenly it was as strong as a mountain. The anger echoed between the mountains and rivers, which was the shout of the Han soldiers in a distant country far away from their hometown.

The reinforcements of the Central Army led the way and rode their horses from the rugged road. Behind it was a soldier who resisted the flag, with a big Chinese character written on the flag: Tang.

Just then, with a sound of boring, the general's helmet suddenly tilted to one side, and a short arrow bounced to the ground.

The general didn't bother to hold his helmet to tell the situation. He looked up and saw a few figures on the tree. He immediately opened his bow and thrust the strings, and the four bows and heavy arrows left. After a moment, a scream came out a monkey-like thing fell from the tree.

The soldiers who followed him shot arrows at the tree, and the arrow feathers flew over like a shower, and the people above were shot and fell down.

The reinforcements then killed the general from the side of the road. At this moment, a bloody man in front was waving his axes on both sides. Who wasn't Yang Meng?

I saw that the guy was nine feet tall and strong like a mountain. He never needed a strategy to fight. Just one word in his name: fierce.

Those two big axes were as light as threading needles in his hands. They broke whatever they touched, and their heads, arms, broken weapons, etc. flew around in the blood, and no one could get close to them.

There were still many arrows inserted behind him, but the light arrows like Nanzhao in steel armor were probably unable to penetrate.

Brother Yang, I'm here!

Yang Meng looked at the blood on his face and shouted roughly: Let's kill him together!

The bodies were wailing everywhere, and the mountain road was as terrifying as a slaughterhouse. Although the number of soldiers in Nanzhao was large, they could not kill the Tang soldiers. This had not yet formed a formation. After forming a formation, the combat effectiveness was even greater than the dispersed group formation.

After fighting for a long time, countless corpses left in the forest on the road were given up, and the enemy soldiers finally retreated into the forest.

The Tang soldiers could not go deep into the dense forest to pursue the battle, so they had to cease.

At this time, someone shouted "Long Live the Tang Dynasty". In front of the battle record, the morale of the central army was high, and then raised their weapons and shouted: "Long Live...Long Live... The sound of the earth shaking mountains was like an invisible pursuit, surrounding and annihilated the confidence of the barbarians retreating into the mountains and forests, causing a huge blow to their hearts.

After a while, the central army began to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers and food were not much loss, but the food and food on the backs of a few mules and horses were tied to their bodies and caught fire and could not get rid of it and were burned to death.

Yang Meng ordered: Bury the burned horses and our people, throw the monkey corpses away, and don’t worry about them burying them themselves, we have to keep up with the central army.

It defeated a large-scale harassment and became much more peaceful along the way.The vanguard encountered by the vanguard was indeed a feint attack. He failed to defeat the vanguard's soldiers and retreated in a short while. The generals praised Mr. Yang for his prediction that the enemy was like a god.

The three armies continued to advance, and walked for more than ten miles until evening before approaching the target.

There is a shallow river in front of you, and the mountain village is just opposite you, looking faintly.

There are very few cities in the Liuzhao area, and the number of data points is the kind of village opposite. The Annan Protectorate Jiaozhou City is an old city, not built by barbarians. I heard that it seemed that it was built only when Nanyue was destroyed during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Later, it was only repaired on this basis.

At this time, the South was still very backward and was still in a slave society.

Yang Sixu climbed up the hill and looked at it for a while and said to the generals: If this Tuzhai was not for the high mountains and dense forests, it would have been difficult to reach the siege equipment, and it would have been directly flattened.

After hearing this, the generals burst into laughter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Sixu ordered: Set up camp and repair it first, and the war will start tomorrow morning and break the city within one day.

The last one will be obeyed!Everyone was very comfortable with Yang Sixu's confident words.

The soldiers divided the work and cooperated. Some logged wood and some built piles to camp on the riverside. Nanzhao has many snakes and insects and various annoying poisons. At night, people lighted bonfires around the camp and sprinkled sulfur everywhere to set up sentinels before they could rest.

The fire was bright and the flag was floating on the river. I thought the people in the Tuzhai opposite were under great pressure.

Yang Sixu was not asleep in the tent, so he ordered his four treasures of the study to grind ink on the hem. He picked up his pen and dipped it ink and pondered for a long time. Then he wrote on the paper: Yang Sixu, the captain of Annan, paused his head. On May 23, I led my army to Burma Village. I attacked him the next morning and pulled him out one day.

Yang Meng, the godson sitting next to him, asked: What words are your godfather writing?

Yang Sixu read it once, and Yang Meng smiled and said: Before he could beat him, his godfather wrote all the good news.

If you still have trouble after taking this village tomorrow, you might as well write it first to save yourself this move.
